Feature Guides
Globe
Visualize geographic traffic distribution
The Globe tab shows where your visitors connect from on an interactive map. On Rybbit Cloud, it needs a Standard plan or higher.
View Modes
2D Map
- Timeline - View sessions by timeframe, click individual sessions for details
- Coordinates - Sessions as dots with color intensity showing traffic volume
- Countries - Countries highlighted by traffic volume
- Subdivisions - Granular view by national subdivisions
3D Globe
Same four views as 2D, plus:
- Rotate by dragging
- Zoom in and out
- Traffic hotspots glow
- Pick a map Style, such as Standard, Satellite, or Outdoors
The 3D view requires a Mapbox API token. On a self-hosted installation, set MAPBOX_TOKEN in your .env and run ./restart.sh (or docker compose up -d) so the backend picks it up. Rybbit Cloud includes a token.
Time Controls
Pick date ranges to see how geographic distribution changes over time. In the Timeline view, drag the scrubber or press Play to watch sessions appear over the range, and click a session to see its details.
Filtering
Apply the same filters as the main dashboard to see geographic distribution for specific segments.
